Semicommutativity of rings by the way of idempotents

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the semicommutative property of rings via idempotent elements. In this direction, we introduce a class of rings, so-called right e-semicommutative rings. The notion of right e-semicommutative rings generalizes those of semicommutative rings, e-symmetric rings and right e-reduced rings. We present examples of right e-semicommutative rings that are neither semicommutative nor e-symmetric nor right e-reduced. Some extensions of rings such as Dorroh extensions and some subrings of matrix rings are investigated in terms of right e-semicommutativity. We prove that if R is a right e-semicommutative clean ring, then the corner ring eRe is clean. © 2019, University of Nis. All rights reserved.
